• [Advanced mathematics higher degree inequalities and equations]

  Now, if you're doing it for real, the best and also most common method is simply, "use a computer". Many computer systems are really, really good at solving these equations and inequalities. You can also graph it and see on the graph every time it crosses zero. You can even do it for free without fancy software. There are a lot of web calculators that can do it, but one options is using wolframalpha.com. Source: 6 months ago

• How can Computers be used for mathematical applications when floats make them so inaccurate?

  This is how the functionality of scientific calculators and tools like MATLAB and WolframAlpha is implemented. Source: 6 months ago

• What are your favorite high-school level problems (olympiads etc)

  Go to wolframalpha.com, and ask it to evaluate. Source: 11 months ago

• Online Calculator for solving x in polynomial equation

  Do not go for a "one-use" calculator... Go for something that does it all if you know what you're doing. Go to wolframalpha.com. Source: 12 months ago

• Overview of the most useful probability distributions (using Logseq's Whiteboards)

  Some context: - Each "Card" you see is a reference to a block inside a big page called "Remarkable distributions". That page also contains more details (proofs, notable properties, ...) about each distribution. - The plots are generated using wolframalpha.com. I can just type "normal distribution" and I get a nice plot with different variations of the distribution's parameters. Source: 12 months ago

• Stephen Wolfram – 4-Hour Conversational Documentary on My Entire Arc of Life [video]

  If you like this sort of calculation, check out Frink. "I predict that within 100 years, computers will be twice as powerful, ten thousand times larger, and so expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe will own them." -- Professor John Frink https://frinklang.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Show HN: Numbat – A programming language with physical dimensions as types

  Frink (https://frinklang.org/) is an older language with similar design goals. Frink runs on the JVM and is also available on Android. I use it as a general purpose calculator on my smartphone. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Show HN: Numbat – A programming language with physical dimensions as types

  If I’m reading this correctly, the Frink language has similar features (and also seems darn useful!) https://frinklang.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• The Deep Link Equating Math Proofs and Computer Programs

  When I was in high school units were a key part of science education. Is this no longer the case? Your point about tools that support units is great. Reminds me of https://frinklang.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• GNU Units

  I also highly recommend checking out Frinklang at [https://frinklang.org/]. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
